Schools should enforce dress codes, because some clothing can be distracting or offensive to other students.

Dress codes do serve a purpose and should enforced. It may sound nice to say that students should wear what they wish but, in reality, some clothing, or lack of clothing, can be very distracting. For example, a t-shirt which contains an offensive slogan could potentially offend many students, and create fights or arguments in the classroom.

I think girls should follow the dress code because I personally don't want to see their body parts. When I was still in high school some girls made it their goal to see how long they could get away with proactive clothing.

I also think guys shouldn't wear baggy pants because most people rather not see their boxers.

I am partial to the offensive clothing though.. most schools don't allow you to wear shirts with weapons on it but, I got away with wearing my Joker shirt where he had a gun on it.. I mad sure to wear a jacket with it though. I mean some people find certain things offensive compared to others.

I do not think so; although many kids these days dress inappropriately.... it's still not very fair. I had to wear uniforms when I was in school, but only from grades K-4. The clothes were uncomfortable and extremely tacky.Once I got out of that school, I went to public school and I got to wear clothes that I liked, clothes that were comfortable and clothes that appealed to me.

With uniforms it creates equality. Some parents can't afford designer clothing and so you start to separate people. e.g. If I went in my daily clothes and another student went all dressed up that could cause problems. As the above posts say, I don't think every one wants to be distracted, not at school any way. LOL
